Why Is the Exam City Detail Important?
The exam city information is a pre-admit card update that informs you which city you’ve been allotted to write the exam. This is not your exam center address yet — that will be printed on the actual admit card released a few days before the exam.
Knowing your exam city in advance allows you to:
-
Arrange your travel and accommodation
-
Plan your schedule ahead of time
-
Reduce last-minute stress
-
Familiarize yourself with local transport and routes if your city is far from home
